<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PipersSpring, post: 2766071, member: 82411&quot;]Yes, they do perform conservation on ancients. I often check &quot;conservation&quot; on the submission form. They will decline to perform conservation on about 75% of the coins I submit. Probably for some of the reasons noted above. Some of the coins I submit are pretty fragile, and NGC won&#039;t even slab them. However, when they receive a coin that they feel is a good candidate, the result has always been excellent. The conservation usually bumps the coin up from an XF to AU, etc. They have not charged me much for conserving the coins that they have done and the added value of a better grade more than compensates for the price. As far as negative experiences go, I haven&#039;t had any coins go south after they worked on them, and they have performed all of the conservation while they have the coin, not after I get it back. Sometimes they even call and ask permission, but, as I said, I check the conservation box for coins I think could use it, at the time of my submission.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
